Similar case in point: “bimonthly” means “twice a month.” That makes sense.

But the definition for “bi-weekly” does not make sense.

What do you think?

I’m a tax consultant. I look at what companies pay people all day every day. I’ve never seen a company pay twice monthly. Always fortnightly. This might vary by region but unheard of here.

In America this is ridiculously common. Many people are paid every two weeks, but many are paid twice a month. Very common.
